Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a request for help with specific questions related to electrical engineering. The original poster seeks private assistance to verify their answers, while other participants emphasize the importance of public posting for collaborative help and adherence to forum rules.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster expresses a need for help with a few questions and prefers private messaging for assistance.
  • Some participants suggest that posting questions in the forum would allow for broader input and verification of answers.
  • One participant highlights that private messaging may lead to receiving incorrect answers, which could result in misunderstandings.
  • Another participant mentions the ethical policy of the forum, which discourages private help to prevent potential academic dishonesty.
  • There is a concern from the original poster about receiving a zero for seeking help, which influences their preference for private communication.
  • Participants note that using the forum allows for the use of LaTeX and peer review, which are not available in private messages.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

hello..please i need help..i have some questions that i answered and i need help in 2 or 3 questions..if anyone can help me please tell me or pm me..i reallt need you guys
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Have you thought of perhaps, posting the questions in the forum?
 


well i prefer to chat with someone so i cna understand more, and i know that in this great forums there are many guys who help me..can you help me?can i pm you?
i really need to check my answers,and there are somethings i do not understand
 


We don't allow that. Posting questions in the forums means that many people can help, can check the answers are correct and the answers are available for future searches.
And it prevents people trying to answer take-home exams without leaving evidence.
 


i know that but it's just that i prefer to check with someone privatly..pleae help me..just want you to check for me some answers that's all
 
please post on the forum

Hi qwerty321! Thanks for your PM. :smile:

I'm very happy to help you in the public threads, but I don't want to do it by email.

It's much better if you use the public forum - you get more than one opinion, and the help will come much more quickly!

However, if you find that I haven't replied to a thread (probably because I haven't noticed it), and you want a second opinion, by all means send me an email asking me to look at it! :smile:

(And there's no need to worry about feeling stupid - this forum is precisely for people who can't do problems and need help - everyone's in that position sooner or later!)

Always happy to help … but only on the forum! :smile:

plus … i know nothing about signal theory, and I've never even heard of nyquist sampling :redface:
 


i know..theproblem is that if we got any help,well get a 0,that is why prefer to get help by pm
 


and please it is my first year in electrical engineering and i really need you guys to help me..
 


Hi Qwerty, one obvious advantage of posting it in the forum is that you get to use Latex which doesn't work in PMs. Another advantage is that other posters can peer review your answer. Without it, someone could give you a completely bogus answer which will leave you with a conceptual misunderstanding.

PM's ethical policy

Hi qwerty321! :smile:

But PF has an ethical policy (unlike some other forums), that we help rather than supply answers,

and we don't even help if it's against the rules of the member's own faculty.

Perhaps you can check with your faculty? Most professors don't mind "study-buddying" within reason … you may find that getting hints is ok, and only getting answers, or part-answers, gets you a 0.

Anyway, another reason why PF does not allow homework help by PM is to make sure that nobody can be accused of secretly trying to break their faculty's rules. :smile:

On that note, this thread is done. If the OP wishes to be helped, he can start a new thread and fill in the homework posting template showing what he has tried thus far, as per PF rules.
